DoctorRetro Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Mazda 323, 1.5 Manual. MOT June 2020. Revs won't settle - possibly vacuum leaks. It was sitting for 5 years. Wheel bearing needs doing. I'd grab it for the 300 quid it's up for but I haven't a bean to spare this month. It's on Facebook for sale and is attracting knuckle daggers and banger racers. I'd love to see it saved. Any ideas? strangeangel, Burnside, Datsuncog and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Is it driveable as it is, say 94.8 miles? Just thinking out loud. stonedagain, timolloyd, strangeangel and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very, very attractive proposition as my favourite garage has my Gamma and a list of stuff on other cars already, but will only do one at a time at their pace. I was wondering how I would fix it. It is not a done deal yet, as I have already bought one car while Mrs6C is away on holiday.

For some reason he doesn't think I noticed! Nice Mazda. Not sure it's worth £300 without an MOT but it looks worth saving to me.

Tartan58 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 This is GR9, love the yellow dash lights on these. One of you needs to buy it, fix it, transport it up to Scotland then roffle it then I'd be very interested... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
